That's right, they have something of a negative reputation amongst most decent people in the west, shouty, angry, militant and ugly - they are the words most people conjure up when they think of 'feminist' but on the other hand, it doesn't matter what most feminists think, say or do - it is important that MGTOW does not follow that doctrine of hate, that they follow the feminist lowest common denominator of behavior. The great thing is, MGTOW is still in its infancy, what is going to stop its growth is men lamenting about white women because they won't have sex with them - why would anyone take them seriously if that is the discourse dominating the movement.In USA there are plenty of hateful feminist groups, hating ALL straight men, and what about them?
Most decent and right thinking people see them as nuts, lunatic fringe groups. MGTOW could be a force for good for men - especially young men - if it was administered right.There are also groups of white people hating black people, groups of black people hating white people, Asian groups men and women, hating only white men and their Asian girls with them, English speaking groups hating Spanish speaking people from Mexico, and the list continues. There is no end of such groups. Christian groups hating atheists, Muslims hating Christians, certain groups of Asians hating only other Asian immigrants etc. etc. So what about them?
Feminism is a lot more advanced, feminism is a lot further down the road than MGTOW, feminist leaders and icons stood up and made themselves known and wrote out their doctrine (most famous is Germaine Greer and the Spare Rib) this is where whoever stands up for MGTOW has to be careful, has to choose their words right and has to make this movement about the improvement of men rather than the hatred of women.You said, MGTOW has no leader or manifesto, there is no universal guideline. - You can say however the same about feminism. US-based feminism is full with hateful literature and quotes by leading US-feminists, going so far to recommend to kill all men, to cage them in a sperm farm, to beat them up, to excuse any crime from women against men etc. and this is all stuff you learn in so-called pro-feminist 'gender studies'. - However you will not find such hateful feminist literature outside of USA/Canada/Australia. Feminism of the Anglosphere is indeed the most toxic movement I know but nobody says any word about it.
If MGTOW is dominated by 'Waaaaaaaaaaaaah women won't date me, they are evil, Filipinas are better' no-one is going to take MGTOW seriously.
The difference is time, MGTOW is in its infancy, MGTOW has the wheels to grow and to move - you can see now what is happening in different parts of the world. Men are going their own way, there have always been men who have rejected their percieved role but as the world is connected to the internet, their grievances can be aired and listened to.In USA feminism is about extorting privileges and advantages without any justification except being a female - feminism is not productive and needs money from outside - it's not only about extorting some extra support from a few men, it is about a huge sum of money extorted also from companies, universities, misusing public funds...
MGTOW is reacting differently - we do not receive money from anywhere, of course compared to powerful feminism, MGTOW are small groups often with different agendas worldwide, and we have to do this out of our own wallet. - MGTOW in India have other problems than MGTOW in Germany for example. So what kind of leadership or manifesto do you expect?
I don't disagree with Marcos Zeilota much but I disagree with the 'all men need a wife, family and kids' I know men who are happy as larry that they have no such thing and I certainly know quite a few men who have these things and regret them.
I think it is going to take time for the right spokespeople to show themselves and a manifesto in the form of literature will evolve, but it has to be non-militant and it has to be based around the areas of self-improvement - or else people are just going to shut off if it is about blame.
